iPad Addict

Not an economical alternative but I have a wifi iPad combined with a 4G/LTE mobile hotspot from Verizon. In 4G coverage areas my download speed sometimes rivals my cable modem at home.

Costs $50 per month and unlike the stop/start plans available for the iPad, it's a two year commitment. But I have to have it anyway for my laptop and I can connect up to five devices simultaneously. Without a 3G iPad I give up GPS but it's a relatively minor inconvenience since I have full GPS and turn by turn voice navigation on my Android smartphone.

That is weird, are you sure that you have the same APN on both the phone and iPad?

I have read about people that are using the same provider as i do complained about it being slow, but upon a bit of investigation they figured out that they used another APN and when they changed it everything went much faster.

That hasn't been a problem for me though, i get about 6,4 Mbit down and 3 Mbit up.

Many people are reporting that the iPhone 4.0 OS installed in a 3G or 3GS slows the phone to a crawl. Apple provides no way to easily back out the upgrade, but there is a way. Go to the LifeHacker how-to page to see how they figured out that restoring 3.1.3 was the way to go.I specifically have not upgraded my 3GS for this reason. I recommend anyone else considering that upgrade path think again...
